Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
Is there an empty space in the Earth's mantle?
To my knowledge, there is not known to be an empty space in the mantle. Earthquake seismic waves travel through the Earth in different ways as they change from crust to mantle. Such a void would have probably been detected by now, as the waves would NOT travel through a void - they travel through solids and liquids (but not the solid of the Earth's core).
Does sound travel faster through space or room temperature?
Nope, sounds doesn't travel faster on space because a medium is needed a region to another
Do p waves travel through the crust mantle outer and inner core?
Yes, however s waves can't; they can only travel through solids, therefore they cannot travel through the outer core, which is liquid.
Which type of seismic wave can only pass through earths mantle?
There is no seismic wave that can only pass through the Earth's mantle. However S-waves can not travel through earth's outer core because it is a liquid.
Can S waves travel through the earths mantle?
s-waves do not travel through Earth's mantle
Why does sound travel faster through iron than thought air?
I believe that sound travels faster through iron because it bounces off the sides, and causes it to travel faster, reaching the other side.
What layer of earth will waves travel through faster?
The mantle of course.....because sound waves travel through liquid like surfaces better than solid rock.
What layer of the earth will a seismic wave travel trough faster?
The mantle
Do p waves travel through earths mantle?
Yes, P-waves (primary waves) can travel through the Earth's mantle. P-waves are a type of seismic wave that is capable of propagating through solid, liquid, and gaseous materials. They are the fastest seismic waves and can travel through the mantle, which is the layer between the Earth's crust and core.
Do sound waves travel faster threw liquid or solid?
They travel faster through solids
What specific solid does sound travel through the fastest?
The denser the faster. ie: it will travel faster through quartz than sandstone.
Does sound travel faster through a solid or water?
sound travel faster through soled because of tighter packed particles
Does sound travel faster through steel or cloth?
sound travels faster through steel
Waves are known to travel faster through solids than they do through gases?
faster apex.....................................................................................................................
Where do sound travel faster?
Through metals
What layer of Earth do Secondary waves NOT travel through?
Outer core and Mantle
